When Mick made his getaway, he moved toward his left and appeared to round that corner and head up a ladder. The ladder they used, however, was the one directly across the ambulance bay. It can be seen behind the paparazzi in the photo above.

Thank you so much for sharing your impressive detective skills. It makes me bow to the crew in amazement how they used the tiniest of spaces and made it into something different by using angles and green screen. Movie magic...

Oh, my gosh, Lilly--I never would've noticed in a million years that the building behind crouching Mick is the Rosslyn Hotel! And I'm awestruck by your amazing realization that the rotunda shot (I agree, the BEST!) is in the WB movie theater. You are freakin' brilliant, woman.

Actually, I just noticed that yesterday when I was making the screencap. Then I had to check Bing maps to see if the other buildings lined up correctly or if the art department just slapped a bunch of building together for effect. It really is what the skyline would look like from across the street from the Rosslyn. Everything is very compressed, though, like it would be if shot through a long lens -- but it's accurate.

One other thing I noticed--they used a TON of the wonderful, lacy wooden screening in the windows of "Mick's building" in the hit-and-run scene. I wish I knew where they got that stuff... I'd love to make my own (free-standing) screen out of it for my house. I've looked all over for it, but haven't had any luck, unfortunately.

Well slowly but surely I'm putting online the pictures that I took in LA last month. I'm putting together a "tour" just like last year, but I have more pictures this time, so it is going to be (and take me) longer. So I thought I put links to the relevant "pages" of the tour under each relevant thread, this time... come to think of it I should catch up and do that for those I took last year too... Anywhere, here goes for now:
